Six Flags Over Georgia

Austell, Georgia, USA

Six Flags Over Georgia opened in 1967 as the second Six Flags park following the success of Six Flags Over Texas, and now features a large collection of rollercoasters headed up by the ACE Coaster Classic Mind Bender and the 200ft tall B&M hyper coaster Goliath.

Following on from the success of the original Six Flags park in Texas, Six Flags Over Georgia
opened as the second theme park in the chain in 1967, with rides including the Six Flags Railroad and
Dahlonega Mine Train which still exist today.

Over the years, they have been joined by many other attractions. Mind Bender, a steel looping
coaster designed by Anton Schwarzkopf, has been recognised as a Rollercoaster Landmark by the
American Coaster Enthusiasts.

Sadly, the park today doesn't feel like one of the more loved parks in the Six Flags chain.
It seems a bit worn out, and generally under invested in. Some of the rollercoasters are rough
enough to be unrideable. The atmosphere on the park feels a little more gritty than you might
want at a theme park too. However, things might be looking
up as the park's Georgia Cyclone wooden rollercoaster is getting an upgrade courtesy of RMC
for the 2018 season.
